Friday Quote: Laurie Penny

“There is nothing wrong with a bit of showmanship. Nor is using feminist ideas to sell chocolate and cosmetics a bad thing. But there are some ideas that will remain challenging and disturbing, however you dress them up. You can’t walk into a shop and buy a torch of freedom – you have to light the fire yourself, and pass it on.” Laurie Penny

From Laurie Penny’s New Statesman article: “First the admen stole feminism – then they used it to flog cheap chocolate and perfume to us.”
